After Action Report

In Detroit, the Pistons outlasted the SuperSonics 101-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
